Chuck served in the U.S. Navy and was a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University. He then was claims manager for U.S.F.& G. Insurance Company. Later he was owner of Martin Sales Co. for many years. He was an avid golfer and a longtime member of Creeks Bend Golf Club.
Chuck was preceded in death by his mother, Bessie Woodard; father, Hugh Martin; brother, Hugh Martin Jr.; and sister, Betty Pardue, all of Nashville, TN.
Left with sweet memories are his wife of 64 years, Shirley Martin; daughters, Lisa Myhan (Mark) and Terri Skolfield; son, Steven Martin; grandchildren, Tara Hart (Troy), Daniel Skolfield, and Matthew Skolfield (Jordan). Also surviving are great grandchildren, Zane, Frankie and Aubry; and his furry best friend Abbey.
Because of Covid-19, there will be no visitation or funeral. His family will honor him at a private service at a later date.
Thank you to Kindred Hospice for his care in recent months.
Memorial in his name may be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation.
Arrangements are under the care of the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson. Please share your thoughts and memories at www.chattanooganorthchapel.com
